<p>Can anyone help me identify 4 year residentially oriented schools with a photography major? My passion is wildlife photography. I am a junior and am still waiting for PSAT scores.</p>
<p>Rochester Institute of Technology is known for photography: [RIT</a> : College of Imaging Arts & Sciences](<a href=“http://cias.rit.edu/]RIT”>http://cias.rit.edu/)
Also, check out this program in the UK:
[Marine</a> & Natural History Photography BA(Hons) Degree | Photography, Natural, History, Marine | University College Falmouth - University College Falmouth](<a href=“http://www.falmouth.ac.uk/201/courses-7/undergraduate-courses-42/marine-and-natural-history-photography-bahons-254.html]Marine”>Marine & Natural History Photography BA(Hons) | Falmouth University)</p>
<p>For your particular area of interest in photography, you should consider majoring in wildlife biology or a related area (e.g., zoology, marine biology, environmental studies, etc.) and combining that with a photography major/coursework or just taking specialized non-degree workshops in wildlife/environmental photography.</p>
<p>If you majored in wildlife biology, then your best school choices are going to be at landgrant public universities that have schools of natural resources/forestry or colleges of agriculture/natural resources. Many schools, public and private, large and small, have environmental studies programs. Some schools to consider U Minnesota, U Wisconsin, Montana State, U Georgia, Western Washington, U Washington, Montana State, Prescott C., SUNY-Syracuse, Cornell, Duke, Colorado State, College of the Atlantic, and Middlebury.</p>
<p>Montana State ([MFA</a> in Science and Natural History Filmmaking @ MSU - Homepage](<a href=“http://naturefilm.montana.edu/news/news.php?view=11]MFA”>http://naturefilm.montana.edu/news/news.php?view=11)) and American U. ([Center</a> for Environmental Filmmaking | American University School of Communication](<a href=“http://www.american.edu/soc/cef/]Center”>The Center for Environmental Filmmaking | School of Communication | School of Communication | American University, Washington, DC)) also have programs in natural history/environmental film-making, if you have any interests in that area, but I believe they’re primarily master’s programs.</p>
